I have heard of others doing this every day of the year. I might give it a try this year. Each day write down something that made you happy. Put it in the jar. Then at the end of the year take them all out and read each one.
You will hopefully see a year full of happiness. Even the smallest things can bring happiness. For me, just seeing a bird at my feeder makes me happy. It doesn’t take much. The little things in life are so important.

We have a blessing bowl, which is similar in many ways. It is filled with blessings and if you can’t think of your own to write down and move to the second bowl, you choose one read it and move it to the second bowl. We’ve been doing it for years.
That is also a great idea. I helps us realize how blessed we really are.
I think that is an interesting idea. I’ve ever also written regularly about it in a diary, and have also advised several clients to have each employee write small memos for others in the company for the good things they see or feel every day.
Writing and putting it in a jar is really a good idea!
I think it is a great idea as well. Whatever works for you is the best.
That’s a lovely idea, I may try it!
Good Ellie. Whatever works for you is the best.
I decided to start it indeed, we’ll see how it will turn out.
It actually could be something shared on this site too, that would give someone something to post. I’m not consistent with sharing my gratitude list, but at some point I will look back at them. The tricky part is that I cannot share the same thing I chose before on my list.
I strive for peace and happiness every day, sometimes not knowing what form I will receive. Good idea about sharing on the site, another challenge perhaps. Just what we need. 🙂
And it just may warm someones heart seeing it. It makes me smile seeing others do good deeds for homeless individuals & needy families.
This is a great idea for everyone. Love it!
I thought so. Good to see you back.
Thank you Caro, and I am soooo glad to be back. It was a 14 hour drive back
What a beautiful idea! Just told my wife about it and she loved it, now we’re going to buy a jar ?.
That is great, or you could just make a jar. Good luck!
why not? it would be exciting to see the past.
Yes and to see how happy we were and still are… hopefully. 🙂
That’s a great idea … I’ll try
Just an example of things we could all try, you could change it up a bit.
That does sound like a great idea
It might work for some of us.
It’s not a bad idea, I just do not believe if I try … they make me happy little things … I’m more modest
I hope it works, you can change it up to whatever works for you.
Thank you, I followed your advice my friend
It’s a great idea!!
But I’m not sure I’ll try it … I’ll just forget about it halfway through :/
Well maybe not, but I still wish you lots of happiness all the year through.
